Do i still get the same benefits of green tea if taken cold instead of hot?!
Question: About 6 years ago, a research and development company that develops very high quality dietary supplements, set out to develop the best Antioxidant on the market. They have the machines to test the Antioxidant values in each product (called ORAC testing), and so they purchased ingredients known to be high in antioxidants to begin the development.
The first ingredient they tested was Green Tea, because we know is high in antioxidants and antioxidants protects our cells and is good for our health. They bought 100 bottles of it, tested it, and all the tests came back with ZERO antioxidant levels. At first they thought it was their machines, so they worked on them, and bought another lot... The same thing happened. So they recalibrated one more time, bought more Green Tea, and still ZERO antioxidant value was found.
So they called the company that produced the Green Tea. When they told them what had taken place, the company said, "OH! If we knew you were going to TEST it, we would have sent you the OTHER STUFF..."
What that means is best illustrated like this:
Let's say you take an apple and cut it in half. Place one half on the counter. Coat the other half with lemon juice and place it on the counter. In just a short while, the half of the apple that was not coated will begin to turn brown because the air is getting to it. Oxygen is in the air ... that is what Oxidates the apple (turning brown).
The half of the apple that is coated with the lemon juice is protected and does not turn brown.
The antioxidant products on the shelves are not protected and the air oxidates them... thus you are not getting an active antioxidant product.
To answer your question, if you receive the same benefits of green tea if taken cold or hot, my answer according to scientific research, is that the antioxidant value does not exist. You may get the benefits of some vitamins or minerals that were absorbed through the roots and into the leaves, but if you are drinking the tea for antioxidant protection, I am sorry to say, but it just isn't there.
(Unless you have purchased the products directly from the manufacturer, and they have been sealed to keep the air away from them.)
If you are looking for antioxidant protection, after 4 years of research and development, this company found a way to "coat" the antioxidants so they stay active and
went on to produce a very high quality antioxidant.
email me if you would like more information on this antioxidant product that is active!!!!

Green Tea is great, has less caffine than regular Black Tea or coffee and is full of antioxy*.* however its spelled.
Japan, China and many other countries love green tea and have it daily for the health improvements.
Green tea is one of the most popular herbal supplements in the world. It has been used for thousands of years, especially by asian cultures for its many health benefits. These benefits include lowering cholesterol, weight loss, increased immune function, and a healthy cardiovascular system. http://www.tropicherbals.com/greenteaext...
